i believe if you let john boehner be john boehner he would make a good deal for the country. but if tea party continues and prevent them from leading thon issue and compromising where he has to then i think they're in more trouble than they are today. host: is this a reagan move? guest: that's a classic example i think. they had a great relationship and they didn't compromise their principles. ronald reagan didn't throw his principles out the window. he was willing to sit down. ronald reagan he raised taxes seven out of eight es years he was in the white house. and in honor of ronald reagan we have to sign a pledge never to raise taxes. that's caca. how about barack obama and chris christie, it's possible for them to work together and that's what the american people want. host: nancy me loss si fell short of recapturing the house the democrats picking up seven seats. i'm wondering if she's going to step down or a leadership fight within the party. guest: nancy is a great leader and a long time friend of mine. another former chair of the democratic party by the way. i don't kn

naftali, we saw john boehner come out today and say-- sound like he was finding middle ground. we heard the president call john boehner and harry reid and sound like he was extending some sort of-- i don't know, the day after the election-- olive leaf. is that true? >> i think so. it was really striking to see the conciliatory language on both sides, particularly with speaker boehner who was very careful in the words he used. he used a teleprompter, something he doesn't usually do as though to make sure he used the right language and took no questions from reporters. early opoliticians know voters want compromise, they want concillation. so the first thing out of the box was to talk in that kind of way. what we don't know is whether they're saying that because they think that's what voters want to hear or whether it's going to lead to an actual middle ground. >> ifill: it's not like the fiscal cliff issue-- which we have talked about on this program a lot-- is something that came out of nowhere. both side, the romney campaign, and the obama campaign, though they didn't talk abo

house speaker john boehner has said it himself. this is the law of the land. this is the next big step. if perry and walker don't do t then the federal will do it for them. >> jennifer: this seems to me these republican governors are all about state rights would want to set up this exchange because it allows them to be these states and republican governors in charge and not the hated federal government. why are they fighting? >> they're putting ideology and partisan politics over the benefits of consumers. the great fallacy here is that obama-care is a government takeover of your healthcare. the government will come into your life and control your care. but these exchanges are private insurers they're giving you option. it is a marketplace and a private marketplace for to you pick out the best options amist amidst these horrible ones. it's really partisan talking points no more, no less. >> jennifer: earlier this year chris christie vetoed the bill but since that time the new jersey legislature passed a similar bill, and it's back on his desk, and it's back to
